I paid:-
10 sp truetrac £345+VAT (Ashcrofts)
Salisbury Detroit £290+VAT (Ashcrofts)
Fit yourself or do as I did and drop the diffs in 1hr labour (for both) and you know they're done right!
Ooh - Bit more now http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/category_1.html $2=£1 was good once...
Think you need a spacer for your Gucci modern axles.

Cheers Guys.
Randonee - no 'kin ideaETC - Electronic Traction Control
Test complete - let me know how I score
Those were the only ones i think i know.
Randonee - from the SCOR website - kind of greenlanes/treasurehunt thing with roadbooks i believe.
ETC - et cetera, a Latin expression meaning "and other things" or "and so on"

What are promotional events?
Tyro Trial?
Modified Trial?
SVT?
RTV?
AVT?
Safari?
Comp Safari (same?)?
Randonee ?
Challenge (winch i assume, are there others?)
ETC?
Thanks in advance.

I have one in the front of the 110. It's pretty good but you do need some load on both sides in order to get it to lock up. I.E if you have a wheel waving in the air it won't do anything (you can try using a little left foot braking which seems to help but I managed to snap a halfshaft trying this trick)
The handling became a bit exciting after it was fitted but i think this is more due to the Detroit in the rear. Bang it in mind, - you might as well!
-
Aah OK I understand now. Thanks a lot.
Don't suppose anyone has one kicking about under a bench somewhere?

What does that ^^^^ attach to?

Hi, I'm after a p/n for the tensioner pulley that mounts over the fuel pump timing hole on the timing cover of a 200tdi disco/range rover lump.
I've tried the search and found nothing. I believe however that they the LR equivilent of rocking horse eggs so if anyone has one for sale...
-
The best thing is to keep them indoors (if possible!) covered with a thick tarp or similar to keep the UV off and away from any motors/transformers/switchgear as these create ozone which crazes the rubber on the outside.
-
Also turning the steering wheel whilst the panhard rod isn't attached moves the body in relation to the axle.

Anyone know if the mountings for a 110 2.5N/a exhaust are in the same place as a 200tdi 110?
Has anyone fitted a 200tdi system to a 110 with a disco 200tdi conversion? I apreciate that the front pipe will be different but i think that I can mod the 200tdi downpipe to fit onto the Steve Parker downpipe I already have but I'm not sure if the hangers will line up. If anyone with EPC could get me the pictures of both systems I would be eternally in your debt...

We have these:-

Very tall and will hold the chassis high and stable enough to alow full droop without needing the pins.

Is this the same part that keeps the 'box engaged in reverse? Mine jumps out occasionally. Would a replacement plunger be the answer?
-
Possibly a stupid question but what would stop you mounting a low line winch at 90deg to it's usual mounting? I.E. The feet would be on the front face of the bumber a la warn 8724. Would this work?
-
Excellent day out. Cheers Jules and co.
Hope there's another one soon...

Will there be spectating oportunities?

It's a thing like a battery electrolite tester full of a blue liquid that changes to green in the presence of exhaust gasses. CO2 i believe. It sucks the air/exhaust from the top of the header and bubbles it through the liquid.

Aah all becomes clear. Ta.

Sorry what's RTFM?

I have the same problem. The needle sits at the end of the white bit/middle of the black bit. It's always been the same since I fitted the 200tdi. Since i fitted the 35s it seemed a bit higher so i replaced the rad, thermostat (with the standard disco 88deg), water pump, and replaced the 2.5D sender (which seems to fit the 200tdi fine) with a Steve Parker sender.
The temperature indicated on the clock seems to rise if i put the lights or overide the electric fan on so i guess there might be a connected earth fault with the dash cluster but i haven't had time to look at that. I don't have a viscous fan but the X-fan switch in the bottom hose rarely ever switches the fan on.
I don't think the head gasket is gone as it doesn't continualy rise and having the gas in the header sniffed with the blue liquid says no exhaust in the coolant. Any more ideas?

I had some tyres fitted at ATS on the misses car that I bought off the net & they charged me £10 per tyre so I based the cost of fitting the creepys at that.
ATS will probably charge more I would imagine as I doubt they'll fit on the fitting machine. I'd try an independant firm who does tractor/truck and industrial they'd probably do it for beer tokens. Mine are not ballanced at all and they're not too bad. If the firm you use has a Rema Tip Top account get them to stuff a 6oz bag of 'Equal' dynamic ballancing powder in them. Equal has been around in the trucking industry for years, long before the 4x4 world cottoned on to balancing beads/granules. I've heard some good reports. I've not got it in mine yet but there's a fair discussion here:-
-
Condensation in the turbo/exhaust as it's not hot enough when it's idling which is then vaporised when you give it some stick? Or some incomplete combustion of fuel in the bores which the burns off when you set off again. You'd expect white smoke if there is insufficient fuel for the air provided so i don't think that works either.
A mystery to be sure.

I thought that it was £120+VAT. I could only find the 15x10s at £49inc VAT through Devon.
i.e. £762 total +delivery +fitting
Looks like i might not have found the cheapest rims, tyres or done my maths propperly. Bu66er.
Ebay man seams like a deal, mind.
